Karachi childhood memory sparks personal essay on sausages

A writer for Dawn Images has recalled their first taste of a sausage, shared by their older brother from his Karachi American School lunch box.

The writer's mother could not find similar sausages in Karachi at the time and suggested seekh kebabs as an alternative, which the writer felt was not the same.

Their father later ended the discussion by stating that sausage casings were made from animal intestines.

The writer notes they later enjoyed hot dogs extensively from Halal Guys carts in Manhattan.
